| cube1 | Clean install of 21.04. Immediate upgrade to 21.10. Can't switch to nvidia driver in "Software & Updates" because "pk-client-error-quark: Cannot download packages whilst offline (257)" | 22:29 |
|---|---|---|
| cube1 | I have only wifi. I'm connected. | 22:29 |
| cube1 | Had the same issue 15 or more days ago when I tried installing 21.10 for the first time | 22:30 |
| ubottu | Bug 15 in Launchpad itself "PO file import errors should be more verbose" [Low, Fix Released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/15 | 22:30 |
| cube1 | systemctl status network -> Unit network.service could not be found | 22:35 |
| Bashing-om | cube1: On a desktop ' systemctl status network-manager ' :D | 22:37 |
| cube1 | Unit network-manager.service could not be found | 22:38 |
| cube1 | oh maybe it's NetworkManager | 22:38 |
| cube1 | anyway, I don't know why I can't switch to nvidia drivers because I'm "offline" | 22:39 |
| Bashing-om | cube1: ' systemctl status network-online.target ' - ' systemctl status | grep dhclient ' // agreed beong ofline should have nothing to do with the graphic's driver. | 22:42 |
| cube1 | I mean I'm not offline | 22:42 |
| cube1 | But something thinks I am | 22:42 |
| Bashing-om | cube1: partial updates that are pending ? what results ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' ? | 22:44 |
| cube1 | All packages are up to date. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, ... etc | 22:45 |
| Bashing-om | cube1: config issue ? .. to rule out busted pacjage ' sudo dpkg -C ' returns to prompt ? | 22:48 |
| cube1 | Bashing-om: yeah it just returns | 22:48 |
| Bashing-om | cube1: D I read as that you want to install the Nvidia proprietary driver ? we can see what the command line does for us. | 22:51 |
| cube1 | Yeah I'd like to install the proprietary driver, preferably the 470 version | 22:51 |
| cube1 | I'll try the command line | 22:52 |
| Bashing-om | cube1: Best result is to see what the kernel chooses to install - mighty smart ! | 22:53 |
| Bashing-om | cube1: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall . | 22:53 |
| cube1 | I ran with nvidia-driver-470 before I had seen your command. It worked! | 22:56 |
| Bashing-om | cube1: \o/ | 22:56 |
| cube1 | Weird bug going on somewhere though which is a shame. But GUI programs on Linux often seem to just chain commands together that have textual interfaces so error handling is a mess and so on, so I guess it's no surprise that they are shit most of the time -_- | 22:57 |
| cube1 | Better would be using libraries that both the GUI and CLI programs build on | 22:58 |
| cube1 | top of | 22:58 |
| Bashing-om | cube1: My 1st trust is always CLI - I just came up that way :) | 22:59 |
